    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Domaine de la Commaraine, Nuits St Georges, Les Bousselots, 1er Cru, 2022

    Immediately and recognisably darker than the Chambolle, with cassis fruit and wildflowers, toast, earth and cacao too, but also a more vertical core with fresh mineral notes adding to the elemental feel. Bousselots is a vineyard on the Vosne side of the appellation whose soils tends to produce wines of structure and depth.

    ABV:
    13%
    89-91/100

    The 2022 Nuits Saint-Georges Aux Bousselottes 1er Cru is also aged in 50% new oak, and again, that oak dominates the fruit profile at the moment. But there is a little more delineation than the Chambolle, a bit more tension. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins, quite a carapace of new oak, rendering the finish attractive but rather generic compared to its peers. It will improve with some bottle age.
